The Sea

Geneva, Aug. 17.

Partition now appeared acceptable in principle as the solution of the Palestine problem to the majority of the United Nations Committee which is writing its recommendations on the issue to the United Nations Assembly, UNSCOP sources said today.

The trend emerged after weeks of the freest possi- ble exchange of view on the problem among UNSCOP members behind closed doors, when differences of opinion were considerably nar- rowed down, the sources added.

Only on the sixth would surf, awel, and air be right.

Dr. Petersen had this to say about the command's reliance on weather experts:

"On the advice of a group of
